Title: Installing floppy drive B
Post by: magic_plank on May 17, 2005, 09:16:18 AM

Hoiw would I go about installing a second floppy drive? It would be very useful for the kind of things I use my computer for (a lot of the software boots from disc, for example.) But I havent a clue how to do this, my computer has a second hatch on the case to accomodate one, but only one floppy socket/plug thing on the main board. How would i install a second one and what would i need?

you can replace the cord that gose from the mother board to the floopy drive with one that splits in two at the end so that you can put in to, i think.... that should work
